It's stemming from those that seek to mine virtual currencies, and even some companies end up buying GPU's in large bulks, which in turn are driving up the costs of GPU's in general. Nvidia has already told retailers to prioritise customers wanting a GPU for gaming first over the crypto miners, but I highly doubt any retailer will listen, as they love making the money they can from this debacle going on.
It's not going to be a direct and fatal blow to PC gaming, as there are already plans being put into action to stem the tide of crypto mining (such as making cards specifically for mining, limiting how many can buy cards for mining, banks refusing to accept that form of currency, some countries refusing to deal with the currency etc).

Nvidia and AMG, why are they feeding into this, it could just be a massive bubble for them. Are they stupid enough to rest their future on the fate of cryptos?

AMD...AMG do cars ;) No, they aren’t feeding into it. Of course they are happy about the sales but they aren’t rising the prices. It’s the retailers and online stores which rise the prices to almost double the price....why?! Because they can...demand and availability define the price, that’s the law.
Just gotta look at pictures like that to understand what’s going on.
